 Mose Allison © Andrea Canter Dubbed the "William Faulkner of Jazz", the legendary composer/pianist/singer Mose Allison can manage to be a Mississippi blues man and an urbane hipster at the same time. His songs are both light-hearted and hard edged with biting social criticism of the modern world. Mose Allison will perform at the Jazz Standard on Friday, September 3rd through Sunday, September 5/. Continuing a long and fruitful career, Mose Allison continues to write and perform all over the world. His songs have been covered by Van Morrison, John Mayall, The Who, The Clash, Eric Clapton, the Yardbirds, Elvis Costello and Bonnie Raitt, to name a few. Van Morrison recorded a tribute album, Tell Me Something, The Songs of Mose Allison, on Verve Records, and rockers like Pete Townshend, Bonnie Raitt, Ray Davies and Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones have frequently cited Mose Allison as a major influence. |
